of  the  Exercises  in  the  Afternoon,  This  Church  did,  in  the  first

publickly  manifest  their  Assent  to  the  Confession  of  Faith  recorded

male  &  female,  did  in  a  solemn  manner,  publickly  renew  their  Covenant 
with  God  &  one  another;  (after  the  example  of  this  antient  Chh  in 
the  days  of  our  Fore  Fathers)  on  which  Occasion,  a  Sermon,  adapted 
for  the  Solemnity,  was  preached  by  the  Pastor,  from  Exod:  19.  5'^  &

Lord  hath  spoken  we  will  do;  And  Moses  returned  the  words  of  the 
people  unto  the  Lord."  A  more  solemn  &  affecting  season,  can  hardly 
be  imagined  than  this  was,  both  to  the  members  of  the  Chh  &  to 
the  Congregation.  The  good  Lord  enable  us  to  "obey  his  voice  & 
keep  his  Covenant;  "  And  bless  the  solemn  transaction  as  a  means,  to 
excite  this  Chh  to  a  more  watchful,  humble,  prayerful,  holy  &  ex- 
emplary Walk  &  Conversation,  agreable  to  covenant  Engagements

Brethern  —  as  well  as  for  the  awakening  &  Conversion  of  Others,

Heaven.  O  that  this  antient  Chh  —  a  precious  Vine  [187  ^]  which 
God  planted  with  his  own  hand,  &  has  wonderfully  preserved  to 
this  day,  &  has  of  late  greatly  encreased,  (blessed  be  his  great  name!) 
may,  to  the  latest  Posterity,  be  as  a  City  set  on  a  hill,  &  exhibit  an

Wednesday,  Jan^'y  27*''  The  Church  met  accordingly  at  the  house 
of  Deacon  Diman,  &  after  Prayer,  entered  upon  a  Conference  on  the 
Subject  of  Discipline,  agreably  to  the  Design  of  this  Semiannual 
Meeting.  One  of  the  Brethren  mentioned  the  Conduct  of  our 
Brother  Jesse  Churchill,  as  being  2^  so  irregular  &  unchristian  P 
in  several  respects,  as  that  it  has  given  great  Grief  &  Offence  to  the 
Church  in  general,  &  brot  much  Reproach  on  Religion,  by  opening

the  mouths  of  others  to  despise  it  &  the  Professors  of  it,  by  his  means. 
Particularly,  that  instead  of  preserving  "  a  good  Report  aviong  them 
that  are  without,^'  it  is  the  common  Report  that  he  addicts  himself  to 
an  Intemperate  Use  of  Strong  Drink.  For  which  things  he  has  been 
repeatedly  talkd  with,  in  a  private  way,  by  several  of  the  Brethi'en 
individually  —  Also  by  three  or  four,  afterwards,  who  have  men- 
tioned this  thing  to  him,  &  pleaded  with  him,  &  used  every  christian 
Argument  to  diswade  him  from  a  Practice  so  dishonoring  to  God  & 
Religion,  wounding  to  the  Church,  &  hurtful  to  himself  —  but  to 
no  purpose,  as  the  common  Report,  of  late  grows  worse  respecting 
him.  The  Church,  at  this  meeting,  endeavor'd  to  convince  him  of 
his  error,  by  pointing  out  a  variety  of  instances  in  which  he  had 
offended,  on  the  score  of  Intemperate  ^  use  of  strong  Liquors  — 
&  reminding  him  of  the  opprobrious  &  reproachful  Speeches  that 
were  made  publickly,  concerning  him,  on  that  account  —  But  he 
continues  notwithstanding,  to  deny,  &  to  refuse  making  any  Clu-is- 
tian  Acknowledgment  or  to  manifest  Repentance  for  his  conduct  — 
The  Church  after  he  withdrew,  conversed  further  upon  it,  &  then 
came  to  y^  follow"  Votes 

Vote  1.  Voted,  (in  order  to  give  s"*  Brother  Jesse  Churchill,  fur- 
ther time  for  Reflection)  to  adjourn  this  Meeting  for  a  Fortnight,  to 
meet  at  Deacon  Diman's 

Voted  2.  That  Brother  Jesse  Churchill  be  notify'^  by  the  Pastor, 
that  unless  he  shall  then  appear  to  stand  ready  to  make  christian 
Adknowledgment  by  confessing  his  Sin,  &  humbling  himself  before 
God  &  his  Brethren,  he  will  [188  ^  then  be  suspended  from  the

Adjournment,  at  Deacon  Diman's  —  had  much  Conversation  with 
Brother  Jesse  Churchill,  &  much  pains  was  taken  in  christian  Love, 
to  convince  him  of  the  Duty  &  Importance  of  his  making  christian 
Acknowledgment,  in  the  Case  now  under  Consideration  —  At  length, 
he  produced,  &  read  a  paper,  which  he  called  "  a  few  words  to  say  "

CHARGES  AGAINST  JESSE  CHURCHILL,    1796  489 

—  but  as  it  imply'd  rather  a  Denial  of  the  two  particular  charges 
alledged  against  him,  than  any  acknowledgment  —  The  Church 
Voted  unanimously,  that  it  was  not  satisfactory  —  some  further 
Arguments  were  then  used  with  him,  for  conviction  —  but  proving 
in  vain  —  It  was  then  moved,  &  Voted  that  a  Committee  of  five,  be  Voted 
chosen,  to  converse  with  him,  &  use  further  Endeavors  to  perswade 
him  to  comply  with  the  Desires  of  his  Brethren,  by  exhibiting  such 
Tokens  of  Humility  &  Penitence,  as  are  reasonably  expected  from 
one  in  his  Situation  —  &  report  to  the  Church,  at  their  next  Meeting. 
The  Committee  chosen,  were  The  Pastor  —  Brethren  Deacon  Crom- 
bie,  Deacon  Spooner,  John  Cobb  &  Ichabod  Morton.  The  Meeting 
was  then,  by  Vote,  adjourn'd  for  a  fortnight,  to  meet  at  our  Brother,  Vote 
Doctor  Rosseter  Cotton's,  on  Wednesday  24*^  Feb""  instant,  at  2  Clock 
P.  M.    The  Meeting,  as  usual  was  begun  &  concluded  by  Prayer. 

Wednesday.  Feb.  24*^  The  Chh  met,  agreable  to  Adjournment 
at  Docf  Cotton's  —  And  after  some  Conversation,  concluded  to 
postpone  the  Matter  under  Consideration,  respecting  our  Bro''  Jesse 
Churchill,  as  he  was  called  to  go  out  of  town  &  was  absent  on  a  Jour- 
ney —  &  the  Pastor  was  desired  to  notify  y®  Chh  anew,  in  public,  on 
Churchill's  Return,  after  y®  Comittee  have  conversed  with  him,  as 
above  proposed.  So  concluded  with  Praj^er  —  &  adjourned  without 
Day. 

Lords  day  Mar.  20*^  Notify^  the  Chh  to  meet  at  Doct^  Cotton's 
on  Tuesday  next,  to  recieve  the  Report  of  the  Comittee  who  had 
conversed  with  Jesse  Churchill  on  the  Subject  above  recorded. 

Tuesday.  Mar.  22^  The  Chh  met  accordingly  at  our  Bro""  Docf 
Cotton's,  &  the  Committee  reported  that  they  had  labor'd  the 
matter  with  our  Brother  Churchill,  to  bring  him  to  a  Sense  of  his 
Duty,  &  give  Christian  Satisfaction  to  his  Brethren  —  but  to  no 
satisfactory  purpose  —  But  as  he  is  again  absent  on  a  Journey, 
concluded  on  nothing  decisive  in  his  Case,  but  to  wait  his  coming 
home.  He  left  behind  him  a  paper  purport^  to  be  a  kind  of  Ac- 
knowledgment, but  in  such  Terms  that  y®  Chh  voted  unanim'ly  not  vote 
to  accept  it.  Adj*^  after  Prayer,  to  no  fix'^  time,  to  be  notify^  in 
publick.

Lords  day  April  24*'*  Stay'd  the  Chh  at  Evening,  &  agreed,  &  so 
notify'^  them  to  meet  at  the  Pastor's  house  tomorrow.  Afternoon,  to 
consider  further  what  Steps  are  proper  to  be  taken  with  our  Brother 
Jesse  Churchill. 

Monday  P  INI,  April  25'^  The  Chh  met  accordingly  —  And  after 
Prayer,  conversed  in  a  friendly,  serious  manner,  on  the  Affair  of 
Jesse  Churchill  —  &  after  much  Deliberation,  it  appearing,  from  a 
great  deal  of  his  conduct  of  late,  &  from  the  account  which  his 
Neigbors  &  his  own  family,  give  of  him,  that  he  is  in  a  degree  de- 
ranged in  mind,  &  his  Senses,  at  times,  disordered.  The  Chh  Voted 
That  inasmuch  as  our  Brother  Jesse  Churchill  does  appear  to  be,  at 
times,  disordered  in  his  Senses,  it  is  not  proper  to  act  on  his  Case  at 
present,  &  therefore  the  Church  do  suspend  further  proceedings 
upon  it,  merely  on  that  Account,  &  untill  a  suitable  opportunity,  & 
regular  State  of  his  mind  may  appear.  Concluded,  as  usual  with 
Prayer. 

July  17*'*  Lords  day  Evening,  Notify'^  the  Chh  &  Congregation 
that  the  Semi  annual  Contribution  would  be  next  Sabbath  —  The 
Chh  were  also  Notify*^  to  meet,  agreable  to  custom,  on  Wednesday 
next,  at  the  Pastors  house,  (previous  to  the  Constribution)  at  4 
"Clock  P  M,  to  consider  any  matters  relative  to  Discipline,  y*  might 
come  before  them. 

Wednesday.  July  20*^*  The  Brethren  met  at  y^  Pastors  house, 
but  by  reason  of  the  weather,  being  very  rainy  —  so  few  mett,  that 
it  was  thot  proper  to  adjourn  the  Meeting  to  next  Week,  Wednes- 
day P  M,  at  the  Meetinghouse  —  So  after  Prayer  —  broke  up. 

Lords  day  July  24*^  Stayed  the  Brethren,  after  divine  Service  at 
Evening,  &  proposed  to  them,  that  the  Chh  Meet^,  which  was  ad- 
journed to  Wednesday  this  Week  be  on  Thursday  at  4  Clock,  at  the 
Meetinghouse,  if  agreable  to  them,  as  it  would  be  more  convenient 
to  y"  pastor,  on  some  Acc'^^  which  was  agreed  to. 

Thursday  July  28.  The  Chh  met  at  the  Meetinghouse  —  but  so 
few  In  Number,  on  Ace*  of  the  exceeding  busy  time  of  year  —  it 
was  concluded  &  Voted,  to  adjourn  the  Consideration  of  the  Sub- 
ject now  in  hand  respect^  our  Br°  Jesse  Churchill,  to  another  Meet- 
ing, to  be  notify^  by  y«  pastor,  about  the  beginning  of  Sept'  next. 

Lord's  day.     Sep'  11.  1796.    The  Chh  was  stayed  after  divine 


CASE  OF  JESSE  CHURCHILL,  1796;  DEATH  OF  DEACON  DIMAN,  1797      491 

Service  at  Night,  agreably  to  the  above  Vote,  &  there  being  a  full 
Meets  of  the  Brethren,  it  was  the  opinion  of  the  Chh,  that  the  affair, 
respecting  our  Br°  Jesse  Churchill  might  better  be  considered  &  de- 
termined now,  than  to  appoint  another  Meeting  for  it,  as  there  prob- 
ably, might  not  be  so  large  a  Nmnber  at  another  meeting  —  And 
considering  Brother  Churchill  has  had  a  long  time  for  Reflection  — 
and  has  been  here  since  his  Removal  to  Harvard,  made  a  long  Visit 
—  transacted  business  with  many  people  in  the  town  in  which  there 
was  no  appearance  of  his  being  [190]^  being  deranged  in  his  mind,  — 
but  instead  of  appearing  more  disposed  to  make  his  peace  with  the 
Chli,  by  christian  Acknowledgment  of  his  faults,  he  appeared  on  the 
other  hand,  more  obstinate,  &  added  insults,  both  to  the  Pastor  & 
the  Church  —  Wherefore  this  Chh  thought  it  their  Duty,  to  con- 
firm the  Vote  past  on  the  27'^  of  Jan^  last,  &  did  accordingly,  with 
great  unanimity,  Vote  That  our  Brother  Jesse  Churchill  be  sus-  Vote 
pended  from  this  Church,  &  from  all  communion  in  special  ordi- 
nances untill  he  shall  appear  penitent,  &  make  christian  Satisfac- 
tion to  them  by  a  suitable  acknowledgment  of  those  ^  Faults,  which 
have  given  occasion  of  Grief  &  offence  to  his  brethren. 

May  God  follow  this  Discipline  with  his  Blessing,  &  make  it  a 
means  of  bringing  him  to  Repentance,  "  that  liis  Spirit  may  be 
saved  in  the  Day  of  the  Lord  "!

faith  in  Christ,  he  had  been  publickly  propounded,  &  his  Relation

it  appear'd  that  our  Brother  John  Bishop  was  elected  to  that  Office, 
by  a  very  large  Majority  —  Whereupon,  it  was  moved  to  know 
whither  the  Chh  were  willing  to  make  the  Choice  unanimous,  & 
they  very  readily  complied,  and 

Voted  3"^    That  it  is  the  unanimous  Choice  of  the  Church. 

The  Meeting  was  concluded  wdth  Prayer,  &  with  Thanksgiving  to 
the  great  head  of  the  Chh,  for  disposing  the  Minds  of  the  Church, 
in  so  much  Love,  Harmony  and  Unanimity,  to  the  Choice  of  this 
Officer  in  this  Church  —  May  God  direct  &  incline  his  heart  to  com- 
ply with  the  Desire  of  his  Brethren,  &  enable  him  to  discharge  the 
Duties,  &  "use  the  Office  of  a  Deacon  well"!

of  y^  Chh,  the  transaction  to  be  laid  before  the  Chh,  for  their  con- 
sent &  confirmation.  —  Accord ^ly  [218  ^]  Accordingly,  on  Lords 
day  July  ^  the  foregoing  proceedings  were  laid  before  the  Chh,  &, 
agreable  to  their  Practice  before,  in  such  singular  Cases,  the  Chh 
very  readily  &  unanimously  voted  a  Consent  &  Confirmation  of 
what  was  done,  &  voted,  accordingly  to  recieve  her,  viz  Rebecca 
Bartlett  as  a  Member  of  this  Church. 
A  Remark'  Aug^*  lO*""    I  think  it  uot  impropcF  to  record  in  this  place,  with 

Gratitude,  one  of  the  most  remarkable,  &  astonishing  Events  that 
has  taken  place  among  us,  and  the  most  surprizing  Deliverance,  viz 
On  raising  a  New  frame  for  a  house,  two  Stories  high,  &  3  on  the 
back  side,  (belonging  to  Cap*  Jn°  Paty)  when  they  had  finished  it, 
it  fell  all  at  once,  with,  between  30  &  40  persons  on  it,  (most  of 
them  on  the  top  or  highest  floor)  down  to  the  Ground  —  but  thro 
the  wonderful,  and  almost  miraculous  Interposition  of  God's  Provi- 
dence, not  one  person  kill*^  —  tho  21  recieved  w^ounds  —  yet  most  of 
them  not  bad  —  &  but  one,  whose  bones  were  fractured.  May  this 
Instance  of  divine,  signal  Salvation  make  a  suitable  &  lasting  Im- 
pression on  the  minds  of  all  of  us,  particularly  on  those  who  were 
Subjects  of  this  great  Deliverance ! 

Sepf  22"^  The  Chh  met  at  the  Pastor's  house,  being  notify^  the 
last  Lords  day,  being  the  Semiannual  Meeting  or  Conference  — 
After  Prayer,  conversed  with  much  christian  Unanimity  &  Love,  on 
several  things  which  relate  to  the  Order,  Peace,  purity  &  Welfare 
of  the  Chh  &  its  Members.  —  At  this  meeting  also  the  Chh,  for 
special  reasons  urging  thereto,^  came  to  y^  following 

Vote.  Voted,  unanimously,  that  this  Chh  view  It  as  an  Evil 
Practice  &  not  to  be  tolerated,  for  any  of  its  Members  to  play  at 
Cards,  or  any  way  encourage  the  same.

SUSPENSION  OF  REBECCA  STEPHENSON,    1798  515 

into  some  scandalous  Reports  concerning  her  Conduct  &  Character, 
the  [219]  Church  voted  to  choose  a  Committee  of  three  to  go  & 
discourse  with  her  on  the  Subject  &  report  to  the  Chh,  on  Wednes-  Vote 
day  —    She  being  confin^  by  indisposition.  —    The  three  Deacons,  vote 
Crombie,  Spooner  &  Bishop,  were  accordingly  chosen. 

Feb''  14*^  The  Chh  met  agreably  to  Notification,  &  after  prayer 
to  God,  entered  into  a  free  &  full  Conversation  respecting  the  un- 
happy Affair  of  our  Sister  Stephenson  —  The  Committee,  appointed  Rebecca 
to  go  &  discourse  with  her  made  a  Report  to  y«  Clili,  that  they  had  ^^^^'^'"'^ 
conversed  with  her,  that  she  acknowledged  herself  guilty,  &  ap- 
peared penitent  &  sorrowful  —  but  some  circumstances  attending 
the  affair,  prevented  their  having  such  Satisfaction,  in  all  respects,  as 
could  be  wished.  On  the  whole,  the  Chh,  after  long  conversation, 
in  a  Candid,  free  &  affectionate  manner,  with  concern  for  the  honor 
of  Religion,  &  yet  with  much  christian  Tenderness,  towards  the  de- 
linquent member. 

They  Voted,  That  our  Sister  Stephenson  be  suspended,  for  y^  Vote. 
present,  from  Communion  with  this  Chh  in  special  Ordinances,  on 
account  of^  her  indecent,  loose,  lascivious  &  unchristian  Behavior, 
on  a  Voyage  to  Portland,  in  1794  —  untUl  further  proper  Enquiry 
be  made,  &  information  recieved  from  Portland,  respecting  her  gen- 
eral Behavior  &  Conversation  since  that  Affair;  that  the  Chh  may 
know  whither  she  hath  exhibited  not  only  the  profession  of,  but 
fruits  meet  for,  &  evidential  of  Repentance. 

Voted,  that  the  Pastor  be  requested  to  write  to  persons  in  Portland  Vote. 
who  ^  may  be  able  to  give  such  information  as  y®  Chh  desire. 

And  voted  to  adjourn  this  Meeting  four  Weeks,  for  that  purpose,  &  Vote 
if  needful,  that  y^  Pastor  be  desired  to  adjourn  still  further,  until! 
Intelligence  shall  be  obtained  —  &  give  notice  of  it  on  a  Lord's  Day. 
—  The  Meeting  was  very  harmonious,  &  the  Chh  entirely  united  in 
their  proceedings  at  this  time,  &  hope  we  had  y®  presence  of  Clirist 
on  the  Occasion. 

Lords  day.  March  11'''  Notify-^  the  Chh,  that  I  had  not  yet  ob-

The  Church  met  accordingly,  in  the  Meetinghouse,  but  on  ace* 
of  the  Coldness  of  the  Season,  adjourned  to  the  Schoolhouse.  The 
Meeting  opened  with  Prayer  —  After  which,  the  Pastor  read  those 
Comunications,  he  had  received,  from  various  Persons  in  Portland, 
of  good  Character  &  several  of  'em  Public  Professors  of  Religion,  & 
persons  w^ith  whom  M"  Stephenson  had  lived,  i.e.  under  their  Roof. 
Some  of  these  letters  were  wry  full  &  clear,  all  of  'em  in  general,  testified 
to  her  having  been  guilty  of  Intemperance,  &  frequently  seen  in- 
toxicated with  strong  Drink  —  &  attended  too  with  some  peculiar 
Aggrevations,  such  as  being  on  Sahbath  Days  &c  &c,  that  this  has 
been  her  habitual  Practice  for  some  years.  —  After  hearing  the 
sad  Detail  of  this  awful  Affair —  The  Chh,  penetrated  with  Grief 
&  great  Surprize  —  conversed  in  a  very  tender,  christian  manner 
upon  the  Subject  —  &  considering  how  much  Noise  the  Affair  has 
made  abroad,  what  mockings,  &  Reproachings  of  Religion  it  has 
caused;  &  what  dreadful  Dishonor  is  hereby  done  to  the  blessed  Re-

&  that  unless  she  give  proper  Evidence  of  Repentance  &  Reformation, 
&  thereupon  make  a  humble,  public  Confession  of  her  Sins,  the  Church 
must  proceed  to  the  painful,  tho  necessary  Act  of  Excommunicating 
her  from  the  visible  Chh  of  Christ.  Which,  may  the  Lord  in  Mercy 
prevent,  for  his  Son's  Sake  Amen!  After  Prayer,  adjourn*^  without

Lords  day  April  22 '^    After  divine  Service  in  the  Afternoon,  the  pub.  Admoni-

ting  forth  the  Heinousness  of  her  Sins,  the  Grief  caused  to  the  Chh, 
&  the  great  Dishonor  thereby  brot  upon  God  &  ReHgion  —  &  Ex- 
horted her  to  sincere  Repentance  &  Reformation  —  which,  being 
suitably  manifested  by  proper  Fruits,  the  Church  promise  to  restore 
her  to  their  Christian  Charity  &  Communion.

Thursday  June  28*^  1798.  The  Church  met  accordingly,  after 
the  Lecture  —  and  entered  upon  the  Consideration  of  Subjects, 
relative  to  Discipline,  agreably  to  the  Design  of  the  Meeting.  — 
The  first  Object  of  their  Attention  &  Deliberation,  w^as,  the  unhappy 
&  awful  Case  of  Jesse  Churchill  who  still  remains  a  Member,  tho 
suspended  from  the  Communion,  of  of  this  Church,  for  disorderly 
&  unchristian  Behavior.  See  Pages  187,  8,  9,  &c?  Upon  his  re- 
moving from  this  Town  to  Harvard,  it  was  hoped  that  in  his  re- 
tired State,  he  would  have  time  for  reflection  upon  his  past  Conduct, 
&  would  be  brot  to  a  proper  Sense  of  his  Sins  &  to  Repentance  & 
Reformation —    Accordingly  this  Chh  have  waited,  in  such  hope.

for  almost  two  years,  in  which  time,  he  has  once  &  again  visited  this 
Place  —  but  no  appearance  has  he  given  of  such  Repentance  & 
Reformation,  but  much  the  Contrary,  by  open,  &  contemptuous 
Speeches  of  this  Chh,  &  its  Members,  individually  —  &  Also  by  his 
obstinate  Continuance  in  the  Practice  of  extravagant  &  intemperate 
Use  of  Strong  Drink  —  And  now,  being  in  this  place,  (where  he  has 
remained  several  Weeks)  his  Intemperance,^  Profane  Language  & 
other  Enormities  have  appeared  to  the  whole  place  in  general,  to  be 
worse  than  before  —  &  altho  several  of  this  Chh,  &  others,  have 
reason"^  &  expostulated  with  him,  to  endeavor  to  convince  him  of 
the  wickedness  &  Danger  of  the  way  he  is  in.  Yet  all  has  been  [224  ^ 
to  no  purpose  —  These  things  being  taken,  at  this  Meeting,  into 
serious  Consideration  by  the  Church  —  They  did,  at  length,  view 
it  to  be  a  Duty  which  they  owe  to  God  —  to  the  Honor  of  Christ  to 
the  Interest  of  Religion,  as  well  as  to  the  Offender  himself,  &  to  wipe 
off,  &  prevent  further  Reproach  being  cast  upon  Religion  &  this 
Chh,  on  his  Account,  now  to  excommunicate  &  cut  off  the  said  Jesse 
Churchill  from  all  visible  Relation  to  this  Chli  &  the  visible  King- 
dom of  Christ  —  And  accordingly  after  serious  Conversation,  &  full 
Deliberation  on  the  Subject  They  passed  the  following.  Solemn  Vote, 
at  a  full  Chh  Meeting,  &  without  one  dissenting  Voice  —  viz  —  that 
Vote:  Whereas  Jesse  Churchill,  who  for  many  years  has  been  a 
Member  of  this  Church,  has  been  guilty  of  a  long  Course  of  Con- 
duct &  Behavior,  utterly  unbecoming^  the  Cliristian  Character  & 
contrary  to  his  own  Covenant  Engagements,  particularly  by  rash 
&  profane  Language  —  contemptuous  treatment  of  the  Church  —  & 
the  inordinate  use  of  Strong  DrinJc,  &  many  other  things,  inconsistent 
with  the  Character  of  a  Professor  of  Religion  —  from^  all  which 
Sins,  this  Church  has  repeatedly  &  very  often,  for  years,  endeavor'd 
to  reclaim  him  —  &  have  used  all  those  Means,  pointed  out  in  the 
Gospel,  to  bring  him  to  Repentance,  &  all  to  no  good  purpose,  And 
wheras  they  have,  (as  in  Duty  bound,)  waited  on  him,  with  great 
Patience  &  Forbearance,  hoping  that  time  &  Reflection  might  bring 
him  to  a  Sense  of  his  Sin  &  his  Duty,  &  produce  a  Reformation  in

hardened  in  his  vicious  Courses,  Therefore  this  Church,  beheving, 
that  by  continuing  him  any  longer,  as  a  Member  of  it,  they  would 
incur  Sin  upon  themselves,  &  thereby  expose  themselves  to  the  Anger 
of  God,  &  be  in  danger  of  his  Judgments,  do  now,  by  a  Solemn  & 
united  Vote,  exclude  the  said  Jesse  Churchill  from  all  Relation  to  & 
Communion  with  this  Chh  of  Christ,  &  declare  him  to  be  no  longer 
a  Member  of  the  Visible  Church  &  Kingdom  of  Christ  —  and  this 
Act  of  y^  Chh  [225  ^]  is  founded  upon  the  word  of  God,  &  is  done  in 
Obedience  (225  to  his  Command)  —  which  says  (speaking  of  in- 
corrigible Offenders)  "  Withdraw  from  them  "  —  &  have  no  fellow- 
ship with  them  —  But  "  let  him  be  unto  thee,  as  an  heathen  man  & 
a  publican."  —  And  as  this  solemn  Sentence  of  Exclusion,  is  founded 
on  the  Word  of  God  —  so  it  is  conformable  to  the  Rule,  Custom  & 
Platform  of  the  Congregational  Churches  in  the  Land  —  from  the 
Days  of  our  Ancestors.  May  the  God  of  all  Mercy,  follow  this  solemn 
transaction  with  his  Blessing  —  make  it  a  Means  of  Repentance  & 
Recovery  to  the  Excluded  ^  Person  —  &  a  warning  to  all  —  es- 
pecially to  Professors  of  Rehgion,  that  they  may  hear  &  fear  —  & 
avoid  those  Sins,  &  the  very  Beginnings  of  them,  which  are  follow^ 
with  such  awful  Consequences  to  the  Backslider  &  Impenitent  I 

The  Chh,  after  this,  at  the  same  meeting,  took  the  Case  of  our 
Sister  Rebecca  Stephenson  under  Consideration  —  (See  Page  219  ^) 
She  having  sent  in  her  Confession,  it  was  read  to  the  Brethren,  but, 
some  of  them,  not  being  fully  satisfy"^  as  to  the  Fruits  of  her  Re- 
pentance being  sufficiently  manifested  —  it  was  agreed  that  the 
Determination  on  her  Case,  be  postponed  for  a  time. 

Lord's  Day  July  1^*  1798.  At  the  Close  of  divine  Service  in  the 
Afternoon,  agreably  to  the  Desire  of  the  Church,  &  in  Conformity 
to  the  Rules  of  the  Churches,  in  such  Cases,  as  appears  in  the  Plat- 
form of  Chh  Discipline,  owned  by  the  Congregational  Churches  in 
this  Land  —  The  Pastor  did  publickly  make  known  the  Case  of 
Jesse  Churchill  (See  the  foregoing  Page  ^)  &  the  Vote  of  the  Church 
Excommunicating  said  Churchill  from  their  fellowship  —  stating  the

520  PLYMOUTH  CHURCH  RECORDS:  VOLUME  II 

Grounds  thereof,  by  reading  to  the  Congregation  the  Substance  of 
their  transactions,  last  Thursday —  And  then,  the  Pastor,  (s*^ 
Churchill,  being  absent,  tho  directed  by  the  Pastor  in  writing,  to 
attend  on  the  occasion)  did  solemnly  Declare  the  Sentence  of  Ex- 
communication, in  the  following  words  —  [agreable  to  the  form  in 
D'  Mather's  Ratio  Disciplinse,  or  form  of  the  Discipline,  used  in  the 
New  England  Churches.]  ^   Viz* 

And  now,  in  the  Name  of  the  glorious  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  &  with  the 
Concurrence  of  his  Church  &  faithful  People,  I  [226  ^]  I  do  declare  (you) 
Jesse  Churchill,  having  by  (your)  his  Sin  procured  it,  to  be  cut  off  from 
all  the  Priviledges  and  Expectations  of  such  as  are  in  Covenant  with 
the  Churches  of  God.  I  declare  (you)  him  to  belong  visibly  to  the  sin- 
ful &  woful  Kingdom  of  Satan,  the  Ruler  of  the  Darkness  of  this  World. 
I  declare  (you)  him  to  be  a  Person,  from  whom  Christians,  the  follow- 
ers of  our  holy  Lord  are  to  "  withdraw  themselves,  as  from  one  that 
walks  disorderly."  And  this  just  Sentence,  now  passed  upon  [you]^ 
him,  by  the  Church  in  the  Name  &  by  the  Authority  of  Christ,  is  but 
a  Prelude  &  Representation  of  a  Sentence,  far  more  dreadful  to  be 
passed  upon  (you)  him,  in  the  Day,  when  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  shall 
come  to  judge  the  world.  Except  it  be  prevented  by  a  seasonable  Re- 
pentance —  which,  may  our  gracious  God,  of  his  infinite  Mercy  be- 
stow upon  him  (you)  —  for  which,  let  us  pour  out  our  Prayers  to  God  on 
this  solemn  &  mournfuU  Occasion! 

Upon  this.  Prayer  was  offered  up  to  God,  that  this  last  Step  of 
Discipline,  may  be  blessed  as  a  Means  of  bringing  the  Excommuni- 
cated, to  Repentance,  &  that  "  his  Spirit  may  be  saved  in  the  Day  of 
the  Lord"! 

During  this  Transaction  in  public,  a  great  &  awful  Solemnity  ap- 
peared in  the  Congregation,  with  many  Tears.  May  it  be  sanctify^ 
for  the  Good  of  us  all  —  &  May  those  who  think  they  stand  take 
heed  lest  they  fall,  &  may  all  who  name  the  Name  of  Christ,  work  ^ 
out  their  Salvation  with  fear  &  Trembling  —  &  fear,  lest  a  Promise 
being  left  of  entering  into  his  Rest,  they  sho"^  seem  to  come  short 
of  itl^

William  Crombie  Deacon  Ephraim  Spooncr,  &  JoJm  Cobb,  as  Dele-

Jan^  29*^  The  Chh  met,  according  to  the  above  notification, 
and,  after  opening  the  meeting  with  Prayer,  discoursed  on  several 
Subjects,  conformable  to  the  original  Design  of  these  Meetings  — 
on  discipline.  It  appearing  that  several  of  the  members,  had,  of 
late,  walked  unbecoming  their  christian  Character  &  Profession  — 
&  that,  in  such  instances  as  are  known  to  the  world,  &  become  matter 
of  comon  Report,  the^  Chh  thought  it  their  Duty  to  make  more 
particular  Inquiry  into  them  —  And  accordingly,  Voted  that 
Deacons  Crombie  &  Spooner  be  a  Committee  to  go  &  enquire  into 
the  Report  of  our  Sister  Bethiah  Howard's  Intemperance  in  the  use

uous treatment  of  the  Chh,  in  Coming^  to  the  Sacrament,  but  a 
few  days  after  she  was  seen  in  a  Posture  of  Drunkeness  and  had 
been  desired  by  a  Comittee  of  the  Chh  not  to  come  untill  she  had 
manifested  her  Repentance  &  given  Satisfaction. 

At  this  Meeting,  the  Clih  also  Voted,  that  Deacon  Bishop  &  Br* 
Solomon  Churchill,  be  a  Committee  to  go  &  talk  with  our  Brethren 
John  Carver  &  Lemuel  Bradford,  respecting  their  playing  at  Cards,  in 
a  public  place,  before  several,  who  were  not  of  the  Chh,  (&  who  ex- 
press^ their  surprize  at  such  Conduct  in  Members  of  the  Church). 

Also,  the  same  Comittee,  to  go  &  discourse  with  Br°  David  Lothrop, 
who  is  too  commonly  reported  to  intemperate,  &  has  drank  strong

Tuesday.  Feb""  12**^  The  Chh  met  at  the  Pastor's  house,  agreably 
to  Adjournment —  The  Committees,  each,  made  Report  of  their 
Commission.  Viz,  That,  with  Respect  to  our  Sister  Bethiah  Howard, 
She  denies  the  Charge  of  Intemperance,  wholly.  But  acknowledges 
rash,  passionate  Language,  which  she  is  too  much  addicted  to,  con- 
fesses her  Sin  in  this  regard,  &  desires  to  be  humbled  for  it  &  asks 
forgiveness  of  God  &  her  Brethren. 

With  respect  to  M"  Morton  (once  Boies,)  They  discours^  with 
her  also,  &  Report  that  she,  likewise  deny'd  y®  Charge  of  Intemper- 
ance, &  persists  in  it.  As  to  the  charge  of  casting  Contempt  on 
y«  Chh,  (as  mention'd  above)  it  appear'^,  that  it  seem**  to  arise, 
not  from  obstinacy,  but  rather  from  ignorance  of  her  Duty  in  that 
Case. 

The  other  Comittee  also  report.  That,  with  respect  to  our  Brother 
John  Carver,  He  confess**  his  Crime,  as  charg'd  against  him  —  was 
now  convinC*  it  was  wrong,  sinful  &  dishonouring  to  God  &  his 
Profession  —  appeard  penitent,  beg'd  forglvness  of  God  &  the  Chh, 
&  promiss^  by  divine  Aid,  to  walk  more  Cautiously,  &  cu*cumspectly 
for  the  future,  &  hoped  he  should  give  no  Occasion  of  Grief  to  his 
Brethren,  or  bring  any  further  Reproach  on  Religion  by  his  Mis- 
conduct.   [3]  1799  Chh  Records 

And  with  respect  to  our  Brother  Lemuel  Bradford,  the  Committee 
report,  that  having  conversed  with  him,  he  acknowledged  the  Fact 
charged  against  him  —  that  he  did  not,  at  the  time  of  it,  reflect  so 
much  upon  it  or  think  it  so  great  an  Evil  —  that  he  was  drawn  in 
to  it  —  &  was  ignorant  of  the  explicit  Vote  of  this  Chh  against  play- 
ing Cards,  (having  lived  out  of  town  for  some  years)  but,  that  had 
he  known  what  he  now  does,  he  sho<*  not  have  comply''  —  he  own'd 
he  did  it,  thro  the  Temptation  of  Satan,  &  his  own  wicked  heart,  k 
is  sorry. 


VARIOUS  MEMBERS  DISCIPLINED,    1799  537 

With  respect  to  the  last  —  viz,  the  Case  of  our  brother  David 
Lothrop,  he  appeared  exceedingly  penitent  &  humble  acknowledged 
his  Sin,  &  with  Tears  confessed  &  desired  to  be  humble  before  God 
&  Man,  for  the  Wound  bro't  hereby  on  Religion  —  aks*^  forgivness 
of  God  &  his  Brethren,  &  hop'd,  thro  divine  Assistance,  he  should 
hereafter,  w^alk  humbly  and  circumspectly,  &  give  no  further  occa- 
sion of  Stumbling,  to  any. 

Whereupon,  the  Chh,  upon  further  deliberation  &  Conversation 
on  each  Case,  Seperately  —  Came  to  the  following  Votes. 

Voted  —  viz.  That  this  Chli  is  not  satisfied  with  the  Report,  re- 
specting our  Sister  Howard,  as  to  her  Denial  of  y®  Chh  of  Intemper- 
ance, &  her  positive  declaration  of  innocency  herein,  as  there  have 
been  so  many  Circumstances,  in  time  past,  which  give  too  much 
reason  to  believe  she  is  guilty.  —  And  that  she  be  desired  to  with- 
draw herself  from  special  Ordinances,  untill  she  shall  upon  Re- 
flection, give  further  proof,  &  more  satisfactory  Evidence  of  her 
Innocence,  or  entire  Reformation. 

Voted,  That  this  Chh  are  also  dissatisfied  with  the  Report  respect- 
ing our  Sister  Morton  —  for  the  same  reason  as  the  above,  viz  her 
positive  Denial  of  Intemperance,  when  there  has  been  such  evidence 
of  her  having  been  guilty  —  &  therefore  that  she  be  desired  to  with- 
draw herself  from  Comunion,  till  she  give  shall,  by  her  fruits,  &  ac- 
knowledgment, give  Satisfaction.  —  That,  as  to  other  Charge  against 
her,  of  Contempt  &c.  the  Church  overlook  &  forgive  it,  on  the  ground 
before  mention"^  viz  Ignorance  [4]  1799  Feb'  Chh  Records 

Next,  With  respect  to  our  Brother  John  Carver,  the  Chh  Voted, 
that,  as  he  freely  acknowledges,  &  appears  to  be  humble  for  his  Sin,  voted 
he  is  forgiven,  &  restored  again  to  Christian  Charity. 

Also  Voted  that  for  the  same  reason,  this  Church  forgive  &  restore  voted 
to  their  christian  Charity,  our  brother  Lem^  Bradford. 

Also  —  Voted,  (our  Brother  David  Lothrop  being  present  at  this 
meeting,  &  confirming  all  that  the  Comittee  reported)  That  the  Chh 
freely  forgive,  &  recieve  him  to  Christian  Charity. 

Finally,  Voted  that  the  same  CoWiittees  who  discours^  with  these  voted 
persons,  go  &  inform  them  of  the  doings  of  the  Chm-ch  at  this  Meet- 
ing —  &  give  to  each,  such  solemn,  faithful,  tender  &  christian 
Counsel  &  Admonition,  as  their  respective  Cases  appear  to  call  for. 
The  Chh,  in  all  these  transactions  was  perfectly  imanimous,  &  I

ACCEPTANCE  OF  JAMES  KENDALL,    1799  539 

not  confined  to  a  day,  to  a  year  nor  to  life,  but  reach  beyond  the  Grave. 
It  was  not  my  temporal  ease  &  enjoyment  merely  that  were  concern*^ 
but  the  Eternal  wellfare  of  my  own  Soul,  &  the  Souls  of  a  numerous  & 
destitute  Flock.  This  was  a  subject,  therefore,  Which  Justly  claimed, 
&  I  trust  in  God  has  received,  my  most  Serious  attention,  &  prayerfuU 
dehberation. 

In  Determining  this  important  question  every  inferior^  considera- 
tion must  give  place  to  a  Sense  of  duty.  No  fears  of  my  own  from 
whatever  cause  they  might  arise  should  influence  my  decision,  con- 
trary to  the  dictates  of  reason  &  conscience,  no  human  remonstrance, 
however  well  intended,  aught  to  Make  me  blind  to  the  path  of  my  duty, 
or  deaf  to  WTiat  I  feal  to  be  the  call  of  Gods  Providence,  —  My  de- 
termination has  not  been  hasty,  but  calm  &  dispassionate  —  It  was  not 
formed  alone,  but  in  a  multitude  of  Counsellers."  not  from  any  rash 
[6]  Confidence  in  my  own  frail  Judgment,  but  after  repeated  &  fervant 
Supplication  at^  the  Throne  of  Divine  Grace  that  Almighty  God  for 
the  sake  of  his  own  Son  &  his  Sons  cause  in  the  world  would  vouch  safe 
to  me  his  Holy  Spirit,  for  Guidance  &  direction. 

Governed  by  these  principles  &  looking  to  Heaven  for  assistance  I 
have  been  enabled  to  satisfy  my  self  as  to  the  Path  of  duty.  Whatever 
Objections  therefore  may  have  arison  from  the  Greatness  of  the  Charge,

ELIZABETH  FINNEY  ADMITTED  TO  BAPTISM,    1800  543 

The  Rev.  Jonathan  French  preached  the  ordination  Sermon/ 
from  the  words  recorded  in  the  16  chap,  of  St.  Matt.  18  verse  — 
"Upon  this  Rock  I  will  build  my  chh,  &  the  gates  of  hell  shall  not 
prevail  against  it."    [sc-Sd^  [9]     1800    Church  Records  Continued 

March  2^  Lord's  day  evening.  —  Stayed  the  Chh.  after  the 
blessing,  &  communicated  the  desire  of  Elizabeth  Finney  to  give  up 
herself  to  God  in  Covenant,  &  be  admitted  to  the  ordinance  of 
Baptism.  Being  confined  with  wasting  sickness,  &  supposed  to  be 
upon  the  bed  of  death,  she  felt  it  to  be  her  duty,  &  had  previously 
manifested  her  earnest  desire,  to  comply  with  this  command  of  the 
Savior.  She  had  already  given  great  satisfaction,  as  to  the  state  of 
her  mind,  her  knowledge  of  the  way  of  Salvation  by  Jesus  Christ, 
&  the  sincerity  of  her  motives  in  receiving  the  ordinance.  After 
reading  her  relation  &  communicating  her  situation,  it  was  — 

Voted,  That,  considering  the  circumstances  of  E.  Finney,  &  the 
former  usage  of  this  Chh,  in  similar  cases,*  she  be  gratifyed  in  her

request;  &  that  the  Covenant  be  propounded,  &  the  ordinance  ad- 
ministered to  her  by  the  Pastor,  at  the  house  of  her  Mother,  the 
widow,  Hannah  Holbrook. 

The  covenant  was  propounded  accordingly,  the  day  following; 
&,  after  cordial,  solemn  assent,  the  ordinance  was  administered  in 
presence  of  two  of  the  Deacons  of  the  Chh.  Crombie  &  Spooner  & 
others.  —  May  this,  &  similar  ^  instances,  be  blessed  as  means  of 
awakening  others  to  serious  reflection  while  in  health,  &  to  a  con- 
scientious discharge  of  their  duty  in  order  to  a  preparation  for 
death.     [10]     1800    Continued 

March  6.  At  a  lecture  preparatory  to  the  Communion,  Stayed

Also  the  request  of  the  brethren,  who  dissented  at  the  late  ordina-

quests it  was  agreed  to  adjourn  to  the  Place  &  Time  proposed. 

Met  accordingly  in  the  evening  at  the  house  of  brother  Dea. 
Spooner.  After  opening  the  meeting  by  prayer,  some  conversation 
was  introduced  respecting  the  proceeding  of  the  Chh.  at  the  election 
of  the  present  Pastor.  But  finding  that  every  thing  had  been  con- 
ducted with  order  &  propriety  concerning  the  mode  of  proceeding, 
&  that  no  real  cause  of  grievance  existed,  the  dissenting  members 
appeared  satisfied,  &  no  vote  was  passed.  Dea.  Bishop  was  pre- 
vailed with  to  withdraw  his  request.  The  conference  was  conducted 
with  meekness  &  charity;  &  the  christian  temper  &  spu-it,  that  were 
exhibited  through  the  evening,  seemed  to  fulfill  the  promise  of  the 
Great  Head  of  y«  Chh.  that  "When  two  or  three  are  met  together 
in  my  name,  there  am  I  in  the  midst  of  them." 

After  concluding  by  prayer  the  meeting  was  dissolved,  &  the  Chh. 
unitedly  partook  of  the  Ordinance.     [11]     Continued

Sep*  17*^  Met  agreeably  to  the  above  notification  at  the  time  & 
place  appointed.  The  Meeting  was  opened  by  prayer.  After  wh. 
the  following  request  was  presented  by  brother  Bishop  to  the  Moder- 
ator to  be  communicated. 

pt  Y^^  request,  that  all  the  members,  male  &  female,  that  wish  to 
be  dismissed  from  their  relation  to  the  first  chh  of  Ch.  in  Plym°,  to  be 
formed  into  chh.  estate  by  the  name  of  the  3*^  chh  of  Ch.  in  Plym°  — 
&  that  any  member,  male  or  female,  desire  hereafter  a  dismission  from 
either  chh.  &  join  the  other  be  dismissed,  if  recommended  to  the  other, 
be  granted. 

2  '^  We  request  that  an  equal  proportion  of  the  chh.  furniture  accord- 
ing to  om*  numbers  be  granted  to  the  3^  chh,  so  voted  off. 

After  considerable  discussion  on  the  subject  respecting  the  proper 
mode  of  proceeding,  the  meeting  was  adjourn^  to  thursday,  the  24. 
Sep*  instant. 

Sep*  24*^  The  Chh.  met  agreeable  to  adjournment  at  the  house 
of  the  Pastor;  when  the  petitioners  explained  their  meaning  in  the 
clause  respecting  the  dismission  of  members  from  one  chh  to  the 
other  hereafter,  with  a  recommendation.  They  said  they  had  noth- 
ing further  in  view  by  inserting  the  above  clause,  than  that  the  re- 
moval of  relations  from  one  chh  to  the  other  in  future  be  regulated 
according  to  the  usual  practice  of  this,  &  other  congregational 
churches  in  N.  England.  They  also  relinquished  their  pretended 
claims  to  the  chh.  furniture,  being  convinced,  that,  as  it  was  given 
to  the  first  Chh.  the  present  members  were  not  exclusively  entitled 
to  it,  &,  therefore,  had  no  right  to  the  disposal  of  it.  They  asked 
only  for  the  privilege  of  using  it  a  certain  time,  till  ^  it  was  con- 
venient [14  ^]  for  them  to  furnish  their  own  table. 

Agreeable  to  a  vote  of  the  Chh.  the  names  of  the  petitioners  were 
produced;  &  were  annexed  to  their  petition  in  the  following  manner: 

We  the  subscribers  being  members  of  the  first  chh.  of  Christ  in  Plym- 
outh request  to  be  dismissed  from  our  relation  to  the  first  chh.  &  estab- 
lished in  a  church  estate  amongst  ourselves,  by  the  name  of  the  3^  chh.

Oct.  14***  This  day,  agreeable  ^  to  previous  appointment,  was 
religiously  observed  as  a  day  of  special,  solemn  Fasting,  humilia- 
tion &  lyrayer  —  in  consequence  of  a  distressing  sickness  &  very  great 
mortality,  wch  for  six  weeks  has  prevailed  m  this  place,  chiefly  among 
the  children. 

Oct.  17'^  Stayed  the  Chh;  &  communicated  to  them  the  follow- 
ing letter  from  the  Hon^^®  Judge  Davis. 

Plymouth  Oct.  11.  1802 
Dear  Sir, 

I  return  herewith  the  first  Volume  of  Church  Records,  with  which  you 
lately  favored  me  for  perusal.  Accept  my  acknowledgments  for  the  in- 
dulgence. I  have  read  a  considerable  portion  of  the  Book,  &  with  a 
great  degree  of  satisfaction.  It  is  a  precious  morsel  of  antiquity;  &  one 
cannot  peruse  it  without  feeling  solicitous,  that  it  may  be  preserved  from 
the  possible  fatality  of  accident,  or  the  Slow,  but  sure,  ravages  of  time. 
The  Ecclesiastical  History  &c.  penned  by  Secretary  Morton,  would  be 
a  suitable  appendege  to  his  New  England's  Memorial,  which  has  been 
long  out  of  print,  &  would,  I  am  persuaded  be  very  acceptable  to  the 
public  in  a  New  Edition.  The  present  generation  is  at  that  distance 
from  the  founders  of  New  England,  that  it  has  become  interesting  to 
trace  the  first  lines  of  their  History;  &,  if  I  am  not  greatly  deceived  in 
respect  to  the  public  taste,  these  plain  &  venerable  originals  would  be 
generally  &  highly  acceptable.  Feeling  a  strong  desire  to  have  the  work 
accomplished,  which  I  have  suggested,  it  would  [18]  be  gratifying  to 
me  to  be  indulged  with  the  use  of  these  Records  for  that  purpose,  &  I 
would  cheerfully  consent,  that  the  entire  profits  of  the  proposed  pub- 
lication should  be  accounted  for  to  the  Precinct  to  constitute  part  of  a 
fund  for  the  maintenance  of  the  ministry  therein.^ 

I  am,  Sir,  respectfully 

&  with  great  regard 

Your  obed*  Serv* 

Jno  Davis 
Rev.  James  Kendall.

from  special  ordinances  on  account  of  lascivious  &  criminal  be- 
havior. The  chh,  after  due  deliberation,  finding  that  "she  was

Voted,  That,  in  consequence  of  her  notoriously  abandoned  con- 
duct, for  the  sake  of  the  honor  of  religion  &  the  purity  &  safety  of  the

The  case  of  Bethiah  Howard  was  also  posponed,  for  further  evidence, 
[20]  &  brother  Lem'  Drew  appomted  to  make  the  mquiry.    Then 

Proceeded  to  the  consideration  of  the  request  of  brother  John 
Kempton  to  be  dismissed  from  this  chh,  &  recommended  to  the  3*^ 
clili.  This  request  appearing  to  have  been  the  result  of  misrepre- 
sentation &  false  ^  mformation  on  a  mind  greatly  impaired  &  de- 
bilitated by  the  mfirmities  of  old  age,  &,  therefore,^  not  ^  an  act  of 
his  own,  the  chh.  conceived  it  to  be  expedient  previous  to  giving 
him  a  dismission  to  choose  a  committee  to  wait  on  him,  &  inquire 
into  the  real  grounds  of  the  application.     It  was  then 

Voted  —  That  Dea.  Crombie  &  dea.  Spooner  with  our  brother

above  committee,  that  they  had  waited  on  our  aged  brother,  ]\Ir. 
Kempton,  in  complyance  with  the  vote  of  the  chh.  But  finding  his 
mind  very  ^  weak  &  feeble  &  incapable'  of  reasoning,  still,  however, 
appearing  desirous  to  have  his  relation  removed,  they  thought  proper 
to  use  ^  no  arguments,  &  to  ask  him  but  few  questions.    He  observed,

that,  altho  he  had  been  misinformed  respecting  some  matters  rela- 
tive to  the  proceedings  of  the  chh,  which  had  given  him  uneasiness; 
yet  having  been  corrected,  he  had  nothing  now  in  particular  against 
either  the  minister  or  the  chh.  but  thot  nevertheless  that  his  happi- 
ness would  be  promoted  by  having  his  relation  removed  —  The 
chh,  then,  notwithstanding  the  singularity  of  the  case  —  notwith- 
standing his  connexion  with  this  chh,  for  upwards]  of  60  years  — 
notwithstanding  his  having  voted  for  the  present  establishment  & 
uniformly  expressed  his  satisfaction  while  able  to  attend  on  the  pub- 
lic services  —  notwithstanding  by  reason  of  the  infirmities  of  old 
age  he  has  been  unable  to  attend  public  worship  any  where  for 
nearly  two  years,  [21]  &  will  never  probably  be  able  to  attend  again; 
—  notwithstanding  all  this,  the  chh,  judged  it  expedient  to  comply 
with  his  request;  &  accordingly.  Voted  that  he  be  dismissed  from  his 
special  relation  to  the  first  chh,  &  recommended  to  the  third. 

July  23  "^  Met  agreeably  to  a  previous  adjournment,  and,  after 
opening  the  meeting  by  prayer,  proceeded  ^  to  the  consideration  of 
the  case  of  Rebecca  Stevenson.  On  making  particular  inquiry  into 
her  conduct  &  behavior  of  late  it  appeared  that  there  were  at  least 
some  symtoms  of  penitence  &  amendment.  The  chh,  willing  to 
encourage  the  least  appearance  of  reformation,  &  thinking  that 
further  forbearance  ^  might  be  a  mean  of  stimulating  her  to  a  change 
of  conduct,  Voted  that  they  would  still  postpone  her  excommunica- 
tion until  the  next  semiannual  meeting,  which  will  be  the  first  tues- 
day  in  August.  Brother  Lem'  Drew  &  D'  Cotton  were  appointed  a 
committee  to  give  her  this  information. 

As  to  the  case  of  Bethiah  Howard,  on  inquiry  it  was  found,  that 
her  behavior  of  late  was  more  examplary,  &  that  there  was  reason 
at  least  to  hope  that  her  future  good  conduct  would  prove  that  she 
was  intirely  reformed. 

Oct.  2.  Semiannual  meeting;  —  stayed  the  chh  after  comun 
lecture.  Took  up  the  subject  of  R.  Stevenson  but  several  of  the 
brethren  being  absent,  Voted  to  adjourn  the  meeting  to  monday 
the  IS**"  of  Oc*  3  O'clock  at  my  house. 

Oct.  15.  Met  agreeably  to  adjournment,  but  few  of  the  brethren 
being  present,  Voted  to  adjourn  again,  to  monday  the  22"^  instant.

TWO  EPISCOPALIANS  ADMITTED  TO   COMMUNION,    1804  553 

Oct.  22  Met  agreeably  to  adjournment,  &  after  taking  into  con- 
sideration the  character  &  conduct  of  Rebecca  Stephenson,  &  find-

from  special  ordinances  until  the  next  semiannual  meeting.  [22] 
Continued 

Read  to  the  chh.  the  following  request. 

The  subscribers  take  the  hberty  to  represent  to  the  Rev.  Pastor  & 
brethren  of  the  1'*  chh.  of  Christ  in  Plymouth,  that  for  several  years 
past  we  have  been  members  of  regular  standing  in  the  Episcopal  chh.; 
but  being  providentially  situated  at  a  considerable  distance  from  their 
place  of  assembling,  we  are  unhappily  deprived  of  the  privilege  of  par- 
ticipating with  them  in  the  ordinance  of  the  Ld's  supper.  While  we 
unite  with  your  assembly  in  public  worship  our  minds  are  deeply  affected 
with  grief  &  concern,  that  we  cannot  enjoy  with  our  christian  friends 
the  benefits  of  that  sacred  ordinance  instituted  by  our  common  Savior. 
Acknowledging  the  same  Lord  &  Master  with  yourselves,  &  grounding 
our  faith  &  hope  on  the  same  crusified  Redeemer  for  Salvation  we  are 
compelled  from  a  sense  of  religious  duty  to  express  to  you  our  most 
earnest  desire  to  be  admitted  to  a  communion  with  you  in  the  celebra- 
tion of  the  death  of  our  great  Redeemer.  Your  complyance  with  this 
our  request  will  afford  great  comfort  &  satisfaction  to  our  minds,  &  we 
engage  to  conform  to  such  conditions  &  to  subject  ourselves  to  such 
rules  of  discipline  as  you  may  deem  proper  consistently  with  our  con- 
nexion with  the  particular  chh.  to  wh.  we  belong.

those  persons  are  admitted,  who  have  had  no  previous  connection 
with  the  Chh.  viz,  by  a  relation  expressive  of  humility  &  penetence 
for  past  error  &  sin  as  well,  as  sincere  desire  for  admission  to  the

5G4  PLYIVIOUTH   CHURCH  RECORDS:  VOLUIVIE   III 

1816  June  18.  Agreeably  to  notice  the  preceeding  sabbath,  the 
brethren  of  the  Chli,  met  at  the  house  of  the  pastor.  Opened  the 
meetmg  by  prayer  for  divine  direction  &  blessing.  A  proposition 
was  then  made  to  the  Chh.  to  know  whether  at  this  time  they  would 
come  to  the  choice  of  a  Deacon  to  supply  the  place  made  vacant  by 
the  death  of  Dea'^  Crombie.  After  deliberation  it  was  voted  to 
postpone  to  a  future^  meeting  filling  this  vacancy  in  order  by 
inquiry  &  consultation  it  may  be  done  with  the  greatest  possible 
harmony  &  unanimity. 

The  subject  of  brother  Benj"  Whiting's  irregularity  &  intemper- 
ance was  then  taken  up.  And  it  appeared  that  several  brethren  of 
the  chh,  had  repeatedly  conversed  with  him  on  this  painful  subject, 
[39]  and  had  endeavoured  to  impress  on  his  mind  the  injury  he  was 
doing  himself  &  his  family,  the  wound  he  was  giving  to  religion,  the 
dishonor  he  was  bringing  upon  his  profession,  &  the  grief  he  had^ 
occasioned  his  brethren.  And  urged  the  necessity  &  importance  of  a 
speedy  reformation.  It  appeared  also  that  the  pastor  had  wnritten 
him  to  the  same  effect;  but  that  no  evidence  had  been  given  of  such 
reformation,  but  the  contrary.     It  was,  therefore. 

Voted,  that  a  Committee  of  two  of  the  brethren  be  appointed  to 
visit  him,  &  further  to  remonstrate  with  him,  on  the  subject  of  his 
intemperance,  &  urge  every  possible  motive  to  effect  his  reformation. 
And  that  Brother  W^  P.  Ripley  &  brother  I.  ]Morton  be  of  this 
committee. 

After  some  further  conversation  on  other  subjects  relating  to  the 
interest  of  the  Chh,  Voted  to  dissolve  the  Meeting. 

1817  Jan.  26.  Communicated  to  the  Chh,  a  letter  missive  from 
the  First  Chh,  &  Society  in  Marshfield,  requesting  their  assist- 
ance by  their  Pastor  &  Deligates  at  the  ordination  of  Mr  Martin 
Parris. 

Voted  to  comply  with  this  request;  &  that  Gen.  Goodwin  &  Capt. 
N.  Russell  be  the  Delegates  to  represent  the  Chh. 

29.  Attended  the  ordination  conformably  to  the  vote  of  the 
Chh,  when  the  Rev.  M.  Parris  [40]  was  solemnly  inducted  into  the 
Pastoral  Office.  On  wh,  occasion  the  Rev.  Mr  Thomas  of  Scituate 
made  the  Introductory  Prayer;  Rev.  Mr  Willis  of  Kingston  preached

the  Sermon;  the  Pastor  of  this  Clih.  made  the  consecrating  Prayer; 
Rev.  Dr  Allyn  of  Duxboro'  ^  delivered  the  Charge;  Rev.  Mr  Leonard 
of  Marshfield  expressed  the  fellowship  of  the  Clilis.  and  the  Rev. 
Mr  Riclimond  of  Halafax  made  the  concluding  Prayer. 

1818  Jan.  25.  Stayed  the  chh,  after  divine  service,  and  communi- 
cated -  to  them  the  request  of  Sarah  Bartlett,  the  wife  of  Freeman 
B.  to  be  dismissed  from  her  special  relation  to  this  clih,  &  recom- 
mended to  the  third  Chh,  in  Plymouth.  But  not  feeling  satisfied 
with  her  reasons  for  this  request,  &  not  entirely  with  her  conduct,  in 
absenting  herself  from  communion,  when  able  to  attend  worship  in 
another  society  in  town,  it  was  Voted,  to  postpone  the  consideration 
of  her  request  until  the  first  tuesday  in  ^  February,  to  wh,  time  the 
meeting  was  adjourned. 

Feb.  3.  Met  agreeable  to  adjournment;  after  opening  the  meet- 
ing by  prayer  for  divine  guidance  &  direction;  the  request  of  S. 
Bartlett  was  again  deliberated  upon;  And  it  was  deemed  expedient 
to  choose  a  committee  to  wait  upon  her,  &  ascertain  the  precise 
grounds  of  her  request.  Accordingly  it  was  voted.  That  the  Pastor, 
Dea"^  Drew,  &  brother  W"^  P.  Ripley  be  of  this  committee.  The 
meeting  was  then  dissolved,  being  concluded  with  prayer.     [41] 

March  5.  —  The  Chh,  met  agreeably  to  notice  given  the  pre- 
ceeding  sabbath.  After  opening  the  meeting  by  prayer,  the  Com- 
mittee appointed  for  the  purpose  informed  the  Chh,  that  they  had 
an  interview  with  Sarah  Bartlett;  &  that  there  appeared  to  be  a 
general  dissatisfaction  in  her  mind  both  towards  the  Pastor  &  Chh; 
but  that  this  dissatisfaction  in  their  opinion  was  occasioned  more  by 
the  interference  of  others  connected  with  her  own  infirmities  (being 
very  deaf)  than  any  true  &  reasonable  grounds.  But  that  there  ap- 
peared to  be  no  hope  of  doing  away  these  prejudices  so  as  to  satisfy 
her  with  remaining  in  connection  with  this  Chh.  There  being  some 
peculiarities  in  the  case,  &  it  being  deemed  improper  &  irregular  to 
give  her  a  dismission  &  recommendation  under  existing  circumstances 
—  &  not  having  made  up  their  minds  with  respect  to  the  proper 
course  *  to  be  taken  —  it  was  voted  to  adjourn  the  meeting  until

monday  next,  March  the  9*^,  with  a  view  in  the  first  place  of  making 
choice  of  a  Dea°  to  fill  the  place  made  vacant  by  the  death  of  Dea" 
Crombie. 

March  9*'*  The  brethren  met  agreeably  to  adjournment.  After 
opening  the  meeting  &  addressing  the  throne  of  grace  for  divine 
guidance  &  direction,  it  was  voted  that  the  Chh  at  this  time  make  a 
choice  of  a  Dea''  to  fill  the  ofiBce  made  vacant  by  the  death  of  Dea"* 
Crombie.  On  collecting  &  counting  the  votes  it  appeared  that 
brother  William  P.  Ripley  was  unanimously  chosen.  May  a  divine 
blessing  follow  this  solemn  transaction,  conducted  with  so  much 
unanimity  and  harmony  by  the  brethren.    [42] 

The  case  of  Mrs  Bartlett  was  then  taken  up.  After  due  &  mature 
deliberation,  it  was  Voted  unanimously  as  the  first  proper  step  to  be 
taken  in  this  case,  that  she  be  requested  to  make  a  written  acknowl- 
edgement to  the  Chh,  for  her  irregular  and  improper  conduct  in 
absenting  herself  not  ^  only  from  public  worship,  but  from  the 
Lord's  table,  at  a  time  when  she  was  able  to  attend  public  worship 
at  another  Society  in  town  equally  distant,  &  before  she  had  applyed 
for  a  dismission  &  recommendation.^ 

In  order  to  avoid  perplexity  &  embarrassment  on  any  future 
application  of  this  kind,  &  to  prevent  being  pressed  for  a  hasty  de- 
cision by  any  particular  regulation  of  any  other  Chh.  it  was  voted 
to  adopt  the  following  as  a  rule  of  proceeding.  That  on  appli- 
cation being  made  for  a  dismission  from  this  Clih,  with  a  view  to 
join  some  other  Chh,  that  the  Church  will  grant  a  dismission  only, 
unless  the  distance  of  removal  be  so  great  as  to  render  it  neces- 
sary and  proper  that  a  recommendation  be  added  for  the  purpose  of 
giving  information  respecting  the  character  of  the  applicant.  [It 
was  understood  that  this  rule  was  not  to  apply  to  the  case  of  ]\Irs 
Bartlett.]  ^ 

Sally  Kendall,  the  wife  of  the  Pastor  of  this  Chh,  being  dismissed 
from  the  Chh,  in  Templeton  &  recommended  to  our  christian  fel- 
lowship &  communion,  it  was  unanimously  Voted  that  she  be  ad- 
mitted as  a  member  in  regular  standing  &  in  full  Communion  with

this  Chh.  The  meeting  was  then  dissolved,  being  closed  with 
prayer.     [43] 

March.  15.  At  a  meeting  of  the  Chh,  immediately  after  divine 
service  —  informed  the  brethren  that  Sarah  Bartlett  declined  ac- 
knowledging any  irregularity  or  impropriety  of  conduct  in  absenting 
herself  from  the  Communion  as  stated  at  a  former  meeting,  because 
she  did  not  feel  conscious  of  any;  and  requested,  if  the  Clih,  could  not 
consistently  give  her  a  recommendation,  that  they  would  grant  her 
a  dismission  without  it.  The  brethren,  tho'  satisfied  that  her  con- 
duct in  this  respect  was  irregular  &  improper,  were  nevertheless 
willing  to  comply  with  her  request  as  far  as  they  could  consistently, 
choosing  rather  to  dismiss  her,  than  to  detain  her  contrary  to  her 
desire.     Accordingly  it  was 

Voted,  that  Sarah  Bartlett,  the  Wife  of  Freeman  Bartlett,  at  her 
particular  request,  be  dismissed  from  her  special  relation  to  this  Clih. 
■with  a  view  to  connect  herself  with  the  third  Clih.  in  Ply. 

Nov.  29.  Stayed  the  chh,  after  divine  service,  &  communicated  to 
the  brethren  a  letter  from  Mary  Clark,  expressive  of  her  sense  of  the 
irregularity  &  impropriety  of  her  conduct  in  absenting  from  their 
Communion  &  worship  without  a  regular  application  for  her  dis- 
mission from  the  chh.  &  asking  the  brethren  to  forgive  her  &  con- 
sider in  regular  standing,  as  her  conduct  in  this  particular  resulted 
from  want  of  consideration  rather  than  an  intention  to  give  offence 
or  violated  her  covenant.  The  Chh,  Voted,  in  consideration  of  this  ^ 
acknowledgment  [44]  to  forgive  her,  &  consider  in  regidar  standing. 
This  acknowledgment  was  accompanied  by  a  request  to  be  dismissed 
from  her  special  relation  to  this  chh,  with  a  view  to  join  the  Chh,  in 
Eel  River.  But  the  consideration  of  this  request  was  postponed  to  a 
future  meeting  of  the  Chh. 

Dec.  6.  ^  Stayed  the  Chh  after  service  with  a  view  to  take  up 
the  subject  of  Mary  Clark's  request. 

In  consideration  of  the  circumstances  of  Eel  River  being  the  place 
of  her  expected  residence  &  the  convenience  of  her  worshipping  with 
the  Society  now  organized  &  established  there,  it  was 

Voted  unanimously  that  our  Sister  Mary  Clark,  now  a  member  in 
regular  standing  with  us,  be  dismissed  at  her  particular  request

Judge  Davis,  suggesting  for  the  consideration  of  the  Chh,  the  ex- 
pediency of  transferring  the  Copy  right  of  the  New  England's  Memo- 
rial, of  which  they  had  become  the  rightful  owners  by  a  gratuitous 
proposal  of  the  Judge,  to  the  Pilgrim  Society  as  having  peculiar  re- 
lations to  a  work  of  this  kind  [46]  and  affording  more  extensive 
patronage;  intimating,  at  the  same  time,  that  the  transfer  be  made 
on  such  terms  as  to  secure  to  the  Chh,  the  same  profit  for  every  future 
edition,  wh,  they  are  now  to  receive  ^  for  the  first  edition  by  the 
arrangement  with  Mr  Avery.  (See  page  35  ^)  After  being  made 
acquainted  with  the  reasons  &  motives  for  vesting  the  copy  right 
in  the  Pilgrim  Society,  &  ascertaining  the  Judge's  wishes  respect- 
ing it; 

Voted,  unanimously,  that  this  Chh,  relinquish  their  claim  to  the 
copy  right  of  the  New  England's  Memorial,  &  transfer  the  same  to 
the  Trustees  of  the  Pilgrim  Society;  if  they  choose  to  accept  it  on 
terms  similar  to  those  agreed  upon  between  Mr  Avery  &  a  committee 
of  the  Chh,  for  the  edition  now  printing  &  soon  to  be  published. 

Voted,  also,  that  brothers,  Dr  Thacher  &  N.  Russell  with  the 
Pastor,  the  surviving  members  of  the  Committee  who  made  the 
arrangement  with  Mr  Avery,  be  a  Committee  for  making  the  neces- 
sary arrangements  with  the  Trustees  of  the  Pilgrim  Society. 

It  was  likewise  Voted  that  the  thanks  of  the  Chh,  be  presented  to 
the  Hon^^^  Judge  Davis  for  the  interest  he  has  taken  in  the  first  Chh, 
&  the  liberal  donation  he  has  made  &  provided  for  the  benefit  of  the 
poor  of  the  Chh.    [46]

March  24.  Sabbath,  after  public  service  —  Notified  the  brethren 
of  the  Chh.  that  there  would  be  meeting  of  the  brethren  on  tuesday 
evening  following  at  the  house  of  the  Pastor,  principally  for  the  pur- 
pose of  choosing  a  Dea**  to  fill  the  vacancy  occasioned  by  the  ^  the 
death  of  Dea""  Spooner. 

March  26.^  Met  agreeable  to  the  above  notice.  The  meeting 
was  opened  by  prayer.  [51]  The  brethren  concluded  that  they 
would  come  to  the  choice  of  a  Deacon  this  evening.  After  con- 
siderable delay,  occasioned  by  a  disaffected  brother's  introducing  a 
subject  of  controversy  —  relative  to  the  doctrine  of  the  Trinity;  the 
brethren  proceeded  to  bring  in  their  votes  for  a  Deacon.  On  count- 
ing them,  it  appeared  that  brother  Rosseter  Cotton  was  unanimously 
chosen  to  fill  that  office.  And  he  consented  to  accept  the  appoint- 
ment. An  ^  application  had  been  made  by  two  or  three  members 
to  be  dismissed  from  their  relation  to  this  Chh,  with  a  view  to  join 
the  third  Chh.  in  Plymouth.    But  the  evening  being  spent  it  was,

practice  of  this  Chh  from  the  time  of  our  forefathers,  &  from  the 
first  principle  ^  of  protestanism  —  wh,  is  a  sufficiency  of  the  holy 
scriptures  for  all  the  purposes  of  faith  &  practice.  Instead,  there- 
fore, of  continuing  to  make  a  publick  acknowledgement  of  this  creed

Prophet  and  Guide,  as  your  only  King  and  Lawgiver: —  and  to  the

had  withdrawn  herself  from  our  Communion  for  some  time,  &  even

ing been  decided  by  a  Vote  of  the  Parish,  that  it  was  expedient  to 
take  it  down,  and  to  rebuild.  The  House  had  stood  87  years.  The 
text  on  the  occasion  was  from  the  prophet  Haggai,  2.  Chap,  and  3*^ 
verse:  "Who  is  left  among  you,  that  saw  this  House  in  her  first 
glory?  And  how  do  you  see  it  now?  "  The  Communion  was  on  the 
same  day.  The  occasion,  from  the  associations  and  the  tender

The  monday  following,  the  workmen  began  to  take  down  the  House.

accident  to  the  workmen  —  It  was  solemnly  Dedicated  to  the 
worship  and  service  of  Almighty  God.  The  following  clergimen  took 
part  in  the  services  on  this  interesting  occasion.  The  Rev.  Benj* 
Kent  of  Duxbury  made  the  Introductory  prayer.  Rev.  Jonathan 
Cole  of  Kingston  read  selections  from  the  Scriptures.  Rev.  Ezra  S.

of  the  Church  preached  the  Sermon:  Text,  Ezra,  6.  16.  "  And  the 
children  of  Israel,  the  priests  and  Levites  —  kept  the  Dedication  of 
this  House  of  God  with  joy."  —  Rev.  Charles  Brooks  of  Hingham 
made  the  concluding  prayer.    Benediction  by  the  Pastor. 

The  sale  of  the  pews  was  in  the  afternoon  of  the  day  of  Dedica- 
tion. They  were  all  sold,  except  such  as  were  reserved  for  the  aged 
&  free  pews,  for  a  sum  sufficient  to  cover  the  expense  of  the  New  Chh, 
to  pay  the  pew-holders  in  the  Old  house,  at  the  apprized  value  — 
and  leave  a  balance  of  about  $25,00.     [67]  1831 

On  the  22^  of  Nov.  a  remarkable  circumstance  occurred,  worthy 
of  being  recorded,  as  an  instance  of  the  interposition  of  Providence 
in  the  preservation  of  lives  and  property.  During  a  severe  tempest, 
that  passed  over  this  region  in  the  morning  the  New  Church  was 
struck  by  lightning.  One  of  the  pinnacles  on  the  North  side  of  the 
tower  received  the  fluid  —  the  lightning  running  down  to  the  bell- 
deck  room,  crossed  in  a  diagonal  direction  to  the  South  west,  till  it 
came  in  contact  with  one  of  the  columns  —  and  then  passed  down  the 
inside  of  the  column  to  the  ground.  The  pinnacle  was  destroyed, 
and  the  plastering  ^  forced  from  the  column  —  and  the  granite 
pillar,  upon  which  it  rested,  was  removed.  No  other  damage  ^  was 
sustained  by  the  tower;  and  the  body  of  the  building  was  not  in- 
jured at  all.  Although  several  persons  were  within  the  tower  at 
the  time,  and  two  in  the  bell-deck  room  —  yet  no  one  suffered  the 
slightest  injury. 

May.  13.  After  public  service,  communicated  a  letter  from  the 
first  Congregational  Unitarian  Society  in  Brattleboro',  Vermont  — 
requesting  this  Chh,  by  their  Pastor  and  delegate  to  assist  at  the

1834.  Feb.  8*^  At  a  regular  meeting  of  the  Church,  the  case  of  our

prived himself  of  a  regular  standing  in  the  Church,  and  it  further

&  become  exemplary  in  his  christian  walk  —  the  following  Vote  was

him  with  the  subjoined  Certificate  of  his  regular  standing  in  the 
Church.

reformed  and  that  his  Ufe  &  conversation  for  some  time  past  have  been 
as  becometh  the  gospel  of  Christ  —  Therefore,  as  an  expression  of  our 
tender  regard  and  christian  sympathy  for  him,  and  with  a  desire  to 
strengthen  every  good  purpose  of  his  heart,  &  to  encourage  him  in  his

be  restored  to  a  regular  standing  in  the  Church,  and  received  as  a  mem- 
ber in  christian  fellowship  and  full  communion  with  us. 

The  following  Certificate  was  authorized  by  the  brethren  to  be

formable to  the  primitive  practice  [79]  of  the  Chh,  —  it  is  hoped  and

persons  every  reasonable  objection  against  joining  the  Chh,  and

To  the  Fall  River  Unitarian  Society  — 
Christlan  Brethren, 

I  have  received  an  Invitation  from  the  First  Parish  in  Plymouth,  to 
become  Associate  Pastor  with  Rev.  Dr  Kendall,  their  present  Minister. 
For  some  time  past,  and  especially  within  the  last  two  months,  I  have 
thought  that  the  circumstances  of  our  Society  here  were  such  as  to 
make  it  my  duty  soon  to  ask,  that  the  connexion  between  us  might  be 
dissolved.  Indeed,  I  had  determined,  before  any  proposition  was  made 
to  me  to  go  elsewhere,  unless  some  entire  change  should  take  place  in 
the  condition  and  prospects  of  the  society,  to  make  that  request  very 
soon.  Such  being  the  case,  I  thought  it  right  to  say  to  the  people  of 
Plymouth,  when  that  question  was  put  to  me,  that  there  would  be  no 
improper  interference  on  their  part  in  giving  me  a  Call  to  come  among 
them.  And  I  now  feel  it  to  be  right,  and  for  the  best,  to  ask  that  ^  our 
connexion  may  be  dissolved,  in  order  that  I  may  accept  their  Call.

GEORGE  WARE  BRIGGS  DISMISSED  FROM  FALL  RIVER,    1837      593 

It  is  with  regret  that  I  make  this  request.  I  regret  to  have  such  a 
bond  broken,  as  has  united  us.  There  has  been  no  discord  between  us. 
You  gave  me  a  kind  and  hearty  welcome  among  you,  when  wholly  in- 
experienced in  the  duties  of  my  profession.  And  notwithstanding  the 
many  imperfections,  as  far  as  I  know,  the  same  kind  feeling  has  always 
[82]  continued.  From  my  heart  I  thank  you.  And  let  me  assure  you, 
my  brethren,  that  wherever  Providence  may  direct  my  steps,  I  shall 
remember  with  interest  this  scene  of  my  early  labours,  and  the  many 
friends  I  have  found  here.  And  my  earnest  prayer  is,  that  the  seed, 
which  I  have  sown  In  weakness,  may  be  raised  in  power  —  and  that 
however  wide  apart  our  paths  in  life  may  be,  they  may  bring  us  all  at 
last,  to  the  unbroken  union  of  the  pure  in  the  better  world. 

Very  truly  your  friend  &  brother, 

George  W.  Briggs. 

Fall  River,  Nov.  14.  1837. 
Dear  Sir, 

At  a  meeting  of  the  unitarian  Society,  on  the  evening  of  the  10*^  inst, 
a  letter  from  you  to  the  society  was  read,  in  which  you  request  that  the 
connection  ^  now  existing  between  yourself  and  the  society  may  be 
dissolved. 

The  undersigned  were  directed  by  a  Vote  of  the  society  to  reply  to 
your  communication,  and  to  desire  you  to  name  the  time  when  you  wish 
the  connection  to  cease. 

We  take  the  liberty  to  add,  that  the  pain  we  feel  at  parting  with 
you,  who  in  an  eminent  degree  have  won  our  respect,  esteem,  and  love, 
pervades  the  whole  society;  and,  perhaps,  more  than  ever  do  we  deplore 
that  situation  [83]  in  our  circumstances  and  condition,  which  deter- 
mined you  to  request  a  dissolution  of  those  bonds,  by  which  we  are 
united.  —  But  it  affords  us  some  relief  that  our  parting  is  not  caused 
by  any  discord  between  us,  and  will  tend  to  your  pecuniary  benefit 
and,  we  trust,  happiness. 

That  such  may  be  the  result  of  the  separation,  which  must  soon  take 
place;  that  a  more  deserved  success  may  attend  your  future  labours; 
and  that  our  common  Father  may  ever  guard,  protect,  and  bless  you, 
and  all  dependent  on  you  —  is  the  prayer  we  all  devoutly  offer.

Rev.  Mr  Briggs'  answer  to  the  Invitation  of  the  First  Congrega- 
tional Chh,  &  Society  in  Plymouth. 

Fall  River  Nov.  15*^  1837. 

To  the  members  of  the  First  Parish  in  Plymouth:  — 
Christian  Brethren, 

I  have  received  your  invitation  to  become  Associate  Minister  with 
the  Rev.  Dr.  Kendall.  This  whole  movement,  my  Brethren,  seems  to 
me  to  have  been  directed  by  the  finger  of  Providence.  I  came  among 
you  at  my  last  visit  apparently  by  accident,  and  without  the  slightest 
dream  of  the  present  result.  Your  xmanimous  approbation  and  desire 
for  me  to  come  among  [84]  you,  under  such  circumstances,  has  filled  me 
with  gratitude  and  surprize.  I  know  not  why  your  hearts  have  been 
thus  timied  towards  me.  Still  I  think,  that  Providence  directs  me  to 
accept  your  kind  invitation.  In  the  hope  that  this  new  connection  may 
be  blessed,  tho'  still  with  many  apprehensions  as  to  my  own  power  of 
serving  you,  I  do,  therefore,  accept  it. 

The  little  experience,  which  I  have  had  in  the  office  of  a  christian 
Minister,  has  increased,  rather  than  diminished,  my  sense  of  its  im- 
portance. Each  successive  year  indeed  has  made  me  reverence  that 
office  more,  and  pressed  more  deeply  upon  my  heart  a  conviction  of  my 
incompetency  to  fill  it  worthily. 

But,  my  Brethren,  I  will  do  what  I  can.  I  trust  in  your  readiness 
to  look  with  kindness  and  sympathy  upon  the  efforts  I  may  be  able  to 
make.  You  have  called  me  to  a  place  rich  in  stirring  associations  —  to 
"  holy  Ground."  I  trust  I  may  obtain  guidance  and  inspiration  by  walk- 
ing in  the  Hght  of  the  bright  example  of  the  sainted  dead,  who  have 
dwelt  there  —  and  of  the  beloved  living,  now  in  your  midst.  I  trust 
to  that  Providence  wh,  gives  the  needed  strength  to  the  seeking  spirit, 
and  which  permits  no  earnest  effort  in  the  cause  of  truth  and  righteous- 
ness to  be  made  in  vain.     [85] 

With  fervent  prayers  for  your  continued  prosperity,  my  Brethren, 

I  am  respectfully  and  affectionately  Yours 

Geo.  W.  Briggs

—  after  a  continuance  of  15  Years  of  great  unanimity  and  satis- 
faction on  the  part  of  the  Society  —  and  of  unbroken  harmony 
between  the  Junior  and  Senior  Pastor.  — The  following  is  the  corre- 
spondence between  INIr  Briggs  and  the  Comittee  of  the  First  Parish 
relative  to  a  dissolution  of  the  connection.    [98] 

Plymouth,  Dec.  22^  1852 

To  the  Parish  Committee  —  of  the  First  Parish  in  Plymouth :  — 
Christian  Friends  — 

It  is  known  to  you,  that  the  First  Congregational  Society  in  Salem 
invited  me  in  Aug*  last  to  become  their  Minister.  At  that  time  I  gave 
a  negative  answer  to  their  invitation.  My  refusal,  however,  was  based 
upon  reasons,  which  do  not  now  exist,  in  the  changes,  which  have  since 
occurred.  And,  during  the  laste  week,  the  Society  has  unanimously 
renewed  its  Original  invitation. 

For  the  last  six  Years  the  question  of  remaining  in  Plymouth  has 
frequently  been  presented  to  my  Mind.  For  a  great  variety  of  reasons 
I  have  found  myseU  constantly  tending  towards  the  conclusion,  that 
it  would  be  better  for  me  to  enter  some  other  field  of  labor  —  and  better 
for  the  Parish  to  have  some  other  Minister.  In  two  or  three  instances, 
in  which  the  decision  for  the  time  depended  upon  some  contingency  in 
the  Parish  —  I  have  presented  the  question  to  you.  But  I  thought 
last  year,  that,  until  the  result  should  become  clear  to  my  own  ^  con- 
victions, I  would  not  again  mention  the  subject  to  you.  It  seemed  more 
proper  for  me  —  more  just  to  you,  —  not  to  raise  the  question  again, 
until  I  could  communicate  my  own  sincere  and  deliberate  conclusion. 

I  trust,  therefore,  that  you  will  understand  and  excuse  the  apparent 
abruptness  of  my  communication  to  you  —  when  I  now  resign  my 
connection  with  the  Parish  as  its  Junior  Minister.  To  avoid  miscon- 
ception in  one  particular  —  let  me  say,  that  my  resignation  has  no 
connection,  in  any  form  —  with  pecuniary  considerations.  I  have 
never  asked  nor  wished  —  [see  100  page]  ^

[100]  that^  the  Parish  should  do  more  for  me.  I  am  most  grateful 
that  they  have  done  so  much.  I  never  expect  to  find  warmer  or  truer 
friends,  than  I  found  in  Plymouth.  The  confidence  of  so  many  steadfast 
friends  tln-ough  the  experience  and  agitations  of  fifteen  years  —  I 
shall  never  forget  wherever  I  may  be.  Perhaps,  I  may  have  to  rely 
upon  that  confidence  now  —  in  doing  what  I  do,  when  the  reason  for  it 
cannot  seem  so  clear  to  others  as  to  myself.  Still  I  hope  that  as  we 
have  lived  in  mutual  trust  hitherto,  we  may  preserve  the  same  un- 
broken confidence;  and  that  the  simple  fact  of  my  going  away  will  not 
affect  or  ^  change  the  feeling  —  which  has  hitherto  known  no  change. 

In  regard  to  the  exact  time  at  which  my  resignation  shall  take  effect 
—  I  shall  wish  for  your  judgment.*  Had  the  question  been  presented 
a  little  sooner,  I  should  have  proposed  the  close  of  this  year.  As  I  came 
here  the  beginning  of  the  year  and  as  every  arrangement  in  reference  to 
myself  begins  and  closes  with  the  Year  this  would  have  seemed  a  natural 
and  fitting  proposition.  Now,  however,  I  refer  the  question  of  the  time 
to  you  —  only  asking  leave  to  make  one  suggestion.  I  do  not  wish  to  do 
any  thing  abruptly;  —  still,  I  believe  that  any  protracted  period  — after

a  decision  has  been  made  —  would  be  a  trial  of  feeling  in  many  respects. 
It  seems  to  me  that  our  connection  had  better  end  in  the  course  of 
January. 

May  I  beg  of  you  to  inform  me  of  the  conclusion  to  which  you  may^ 
arrive  ^  in  this  respect  as  soon  as  it  may  be  practicable  —  as  it  will 
affect  my  arrangements  both  here  and  elsewhere. 

And  with  the  earnest  hope,  and  the  confidence,  that  he  who  shall 
take  up  the  work,  which  I  am  lajdng  down,  will  be  to  you,  —  and  do 
for  you,  —  far  more  than  I  have  been  able  to  be,  or  to  do,  — 

believe  me  always  yours 
in  Christian  fellowship

[141] 

Lord's  day  June  30*^  1799,  died,  after  a  long  and  distressing  ill- 
ness, The  Rev^  Chandler  Robbins  D  D.  The  justly  &  highly  esteemed 
&  greatly  beloved  Pastor  of  this  Church;  to  the  great  and  inexpressi- 
ble loss  of  his  bereaved  flock,  and  his  other  numerous  acquaintance. 
—  After  having  faithfully  and  indefatigably  laboured  in  this  part  of 
the  Lords  vineyard,  nearly  forty  years,  it  pleased  his  Divine  Master 
to  release  him  from  his  service  here,  &  call  him  home  to  receive  a 
gracious  reward. 

May  this  awful  frown  of  Providence  upon  this  church  be  sancti- 
fied to  their  spiritual  good,  &  may  the  great  shepherd  of  Israel  pro- 
vide for  this  people  a  Pastor  after  his  own  heart !  ^

Briggs'  Communication. 

Plymouth  Dec.  23^  1852. 
Rev.  and  dear  Sir  — 

We  have  rec^  yours  of  yestersay  —  resigning  your  connection  with 
the  First  Parish  in  Plymouth  as  its  Junior  Minister. 

It  would  seem  from  the  tenor  of  your  letter,  that  your  resignation  is 
but  the  fulfilment  of  a  purpose  long  cherished  —  awaiting  an  event, 
which  has  now  transpired. 

The  only  question  submitted  to  us  is  one  of  time.  And  although  our 
future  is  at  present  somewhat  clouded  to  our  view  —  yet  trusting  in 
faith  that  wise  Providence,  which  overruling  all  things  for  the  good  of 
his  children,  we  feel  constrained  to  acceed  ^  to  your  desire,  that  your 
connection  with  the  Parish  may  terminate  with  the  close  of  the  present 
year. 

At  no  period  of  your  ministry  here,  has  there  been  a  time,  when  your 
preaching  was  more  universally  acceptable,  or  when  you  were  exciting

a  greater  religious  influence  over  this  people  than  at  present.  We  had 
encouraged  ourselves  to  believe,  that  a  deeper  interest  was  apparent 
among  us  —  and  that  a  brighter  day  had  already  dawned  upon  us. 

We  shall  ever  cherish  a  grateful  recollection  of  the  harmonious  rela- 
tions which  ^  [281^]  have  existed  between  yourself  and  the  Parish  for 
15  years;  and  our  best  wishes  and  prayers  will  attend  you  in  the  new 
field,  to  which  you  are  called  —  that  your  labors  may  be  abundantly 
blessed  in  advancing  the  interests  of  pure  religion  —  and  in  promoting 
the  spiritual  growth  of  the  people  of  your  charge. 

Yours  in  Christian  Fellowship

Mr  Briggs  second  Letter  to  the  Parish  Committee. 

Plymouth  Dec.  24*^  1852. 

To  the  Parish  Committee  of  the  First  Parish  in  Plymouth 
Christian  Friends: 

I  have  received  your  note  accepting  my  resignation  of  my  connection 
with  the  First  Parish  as  its  Junior  Minister.  I  did  not  allude  to  the  close 
of  the  present  year  as  a  natural  period  for  the  termination  of  my  Minis- 
try —  because  I  had  any  idea  of  closing  it  at  that  time.  It  only  occured 
to  me,  that  you  might  think  of  embarrassments  in  respect  to  the 
subscription — and  other  arrangements  —  if  a  New  Year  should  be  com- 
menced. But  since  it  seems  best  to  you  to  have  our  connection  termi- 
nate with  the  end  of  the  year  —  I  shall  avail  myself  [282  ^]  of  the  earliest 
opportunities  to  call  upon  every  family  in  the  Parish  —  and  to  do  what 
I  should  otherwise  have  done  before  my  last  Sunday  of  Pulpit  service. 

My  resignation  is  not  so  much  the  ^  the  fulfilment  of  a  long  cherished 
purpose,  as  the  result  of  a  conviction,  slowly  strengthening  for  years, 
that  if  I  could  do  good  any  where  I  could  do  more  in  some  other  place  — 
and  that  some  other  ministry  here  might  bring  the  "  brighter  day," 
which  I  have  not  been  able  to  bring.  It  is  a  conviction,  which  has 
brought  me  to  a  willingness  to  leave  a  place,  to  which  I  have  been  and 
am  bound  by  so  many  ties  —  and  which  I  have  hesitated  to  leave,  many 
times,  when  opportunities  have  been  presented.

712  plyjMouth  chukch  records:  volume  hi 

I  rejoice  in  the  hope,  that  my  resignation  will  increase  the  earnest 
men  of  the  Parish  to  endeavor  to  sustain  the  religious  Institutions  which 
are  hallowed  by  so  many  associations  —  rather  than  diminish  its  zeal; 
that  will  give  an  assurance,  that,  under  the  Ministry  of  some  person, 
its  best  interests  will  be  promoted,  and  its  best  growth  secured. 

Yours  in  Christian  Fellowship 

Geo.  W.  Briggs.

Cambridge,  July  9^^  1853. 
Gentlemen  — 

Not  having  as  yet  given  a  formal  reply  to  your  communication  of 
May  the  20**^  inviting  me  to  become  Colleague  with  Rev.  Dr  Kendall 
in  the  Ministry  over  the  First  Parish  in  Plymouth  —  I  would  now  say, 
that  I  am  ready  to  accept  your  kind  invitation. 

It  will  be  unnecessary  for  me  to  indulge  in  any  extended  remarks

ACCEPTANCE   OF  HENRY  LEWIS  MYRICK,    1853  713 

here.  Having  taken  every  possible  means  to  enlighten  myself  as  to  the 
actual  state  of  your  Parish  —  I  have  also  endevored  to  afford  you  every 
opportunity  of  getting  acquainted  with  my  own  character  and  views  — 
making  no  attempt  to  pass  among  you  for  anything  more  than  I  was 
actually  worth.  In  my  address  to  the  Society  on  the  afternoon  of  Sun- 
day —  July  3^1  spoke  of  the  limited  extent  of  my  physical  and  intel- 
lectual resources  —  and  frankly  told  the  people  what  amount  of  labor 
I  thought  I  should  be  able  to  perform.  I  spoke  to  them  plainly  that  there 
might  be  no  misundei-standing  afterwards.  They  expressed  their  will- 
ingness to  accept  the  proposed  terms  as  you  have  informed  me;  — 
therefore  I  see  nothing  to  prevent  me  from  informing  you  of  my  final 
decision. 

I  accept  the  Invitation  you  have  presented  cordially  and  heartily. 
There  is  but  one  drawback  to  my  extreme  satisfaction  —  which  is  the 
fear  that  I  may  not  be  able  to  meet  suitably  all  the  demands  which  will 
be  made  [285  ^]  upon  me.  My  youth  and  inexperience  will  require  the 
forbearance  of  all  around  me,  as  well  as  their  warmest  sympathy  and 
encouragement . 

Let  us  hope,  Gentlemen,  that  this  connection  may  really  prove  to  be 
what  it  now  seems  so  fairly  to  promise  —  a  permanent  and  happy  one. 
I  look  forward  with  delight  to  the  time  when  I  shall  be  with  you  —  and 
labor  among  you.  Meanwhile  you  have  my  best  wishes  for  your  suc- 
cess as  individuals  —  and  my  ardent  prayers  for  the  prosperity  of  our 
Church.

the  Society  —  I  accept  the  invitation  thus  extended  to  me. 

In  explanation  of  what  may  seem  to  you  an  mmecessary  delay  in 
answering  your  letter  —  I  would  say,  that  it  has  not  been  from  any 
disinclination  to  form  such  a  connexion  —  but  from  serious  misgiv- 
ings as  to  whether  I  could  honestly  promise  to  perform  the  whole  work 
necessarily  required.

718  PLYMOUTH  CHURCH  RECORDS:  VOLUME  III 

A  Parish,  which  Ues  somewhat  apart  from  the  common  round  of 
exchanges  —  and  which  has  been  for  some  time  without  a  Pastor  — 
must  be  a  laborious  post  for  a  young  man,  who  begins  with  no  material 
and  little  professional  experience. 

Believing  however,  that  you  will  appreciate  these  difficulties,  and 
will  be  ready  to  make  allowance  for  any  embarrassment,  which  I  find 
in  [292  ^]  performing  the  full  amount  of  labor  I  hesitate  no  longer  in 
consenting  to  enter  upon  these  duties. 

There  is  but  one  condition,  which  I  would  propose,  before  these  pre- 
liminary arrangements  are  concluded  —  a  condition  to  which,  I  pre- 
sume, you  will  readily  accede. 

I  shall  probably  find  myself  in  need  of  a  vacation  of  five  or  six  weeks, 
during  the  summer  months;  —  and,  as  this  is  a  point  on  which  it  is 
better  to  have  an  understanding  at  the  beginning  —  I  beg  you  to  in- 
form me  at  once  of  your  determination  upon  it. 

Apart  from  this  I  have  no  further  suggestion  to  make  —  but  only 
to  promise  that  my  whole  strength  shall  be  devoted,  with  what  faith- 
fulness I  can  command,  to  the  best  interests  of  your  Society. 

In  addition  to  the  Bay  Association  the  following  Clergymen 
were  ^invited  to  attend  the  ordination — viz.  Rev.  Ewd.  B.  Hall  D.D. 
of  Providence  —  father  of  the  candidate  —  Rev.  Nath'  Hall  of  Dor- 
chester —  Rev.  Dr  Hedge  of  Brookline  —  Rev.  Jno.  F.  W.  Ware 
Cambridge  Port  —  Rev.  Dr  Putnam  of  Roxbury,  and  Rev.  Dr 
Briggs  of  Salem  —  Rev.  Mr  Ball  of  Upton  and  Rev.  Chandler 
Robbins  D.D.  of  Boston  —  Rev.  Mr  Tiffany  of  Springfield. 

In  consequence  of  a  violent  storm  —  the  day  before  the  Ordina- 
tion —  some  of  the  Clergymen  invited  were  unable  to  attend. 

Order  of  Services: —  Introductory  Prayer  &  Selections  from  the 
Scriptures  by  Rev  Josiah  Moore  of  Duxbury:  —  Sermon  by  Rev. 
Dr  Hall  of  Providence.  Ordaining  Prayer  by  Senior  Pastor  of  the 
Society.  Charge  and  Right  Hand  by  Rev.  Dr  Hedge  of  Brookline: 
Address  to  the  people  by  Rev.  Nath'  Hall  of  Dorchester.  Conclud- 
ing Prayer  by  Rev.  Geo.  S.  Ball  of  Upton.  Benediction  by  the 
Junior  Pastor. 

A  connexion  formed  under  such  favorable  and  auspicious  circum- 
stances —  and  with  so  much  harmony  and  unanimity  of  feeling  and 
expression  —  inspires  the  hope  of  and  promises  a  result  most  favor-

Our  desire  &  prayer  are  that  this  hope  &  and  this  result  may  be 
reaUzed.    [293-369  ^]    [360  ^ 

The  Pastor  of  this  Church  received  a  letter  from  Doct.  Francis 
LeBaron  dated  New  York,  April  24.  1819  —  accompanied  with  an 
elegant  Set  of  Desk  Bibles  —  presented  by  him  for  the  use  and  benefit 
of  the  First  Church  and  Society  in  Plymouth,  as  a  testimony  of  his 
respect  and  regard  for  the  Society  with  which  his  ancestors  had  been 
connected  from  the  first  settlement  of  the  place  and  the  Church 
where  he  received  Christian  Baptism.^
